...wrath. To a man. the four-minute milers scoffed at his direct implication that they were hopped up for their races. Said Britain's Roger (3:58.8) Bannister, who first cracked the "barrier" in May 1954: "I have never even contemplated using such drugs myself." Don (3:58.7) Bowden, University of California miler who this month became the first American to go under the mark, called the charge "ridiculous and silly." Said Australia's world recordholder John (3:58) Landy...

The few afternoons he was not in the classroom he raced to the practice field to keep in shape for the Pacific A.A.U. track meet. Then he rushed right back to his studies.

"This puts extra pressure on you," said...
Simple Philosophy. Watching their team scramble back into the ball game, Volunteer fans reminded themselves that playing the breaks is what Johnny Majors and the rest of Coach Bowden Wyatt's boys do best. They have to. The Volunteers started the season with a squad that no self-styled expert took seriously. Of course, they had little Johnny (5 ft. 10 in., 162 Ibs.), and he could do anything with a football; they also had a couple of tough line men: End Buddy Cruze, Tackle and Captain John Gordy. But that was about all. Making the best...
